Compacting Plates

Hire compacting plates for 1 day, 2 days or a week or talk to us about our competitive long term hire rates. We offer same-day and next-day delivery across the Midlands.

Compacting plates are used to compact soil, gravel, and other materials to create a solid base for construction or landscaping projects.

Compacting plates apply force on the ground using large metal vibrating plates. The force compacts soil whilst the vibrations encourage grains to move closer. As a result, air pockets are eliminated and there is tighter compaction.

Hire compacting plates in various sizes and types, including single-direction plates and double-direction plates, reversible plates, and vibratory plates. Each type of plate has a specific application, so it's important to choose the right one for your project. 

When you're considering hiring a compacting plate, you'll need to think about the size of the area you need to compact, the type of material you're working with, and the level of compaction you need. Our team can recommend the best equipment for your job.
